With rectangular compartments. 



23937. Model of rectangular compartment fish-way on the inclined-plane 

 system, in an extended arrangement. Scale, inch to the foot 

 (X). C. G. Atkins. 



Spiral fish- ways. 



26949. Xo. 11. Model of rectangular compartment fish-way on the inclined- 

 plane system, in spiral arrangement, devised by Charles G. Atkins, 

 of Bucksport, Me., in imitation of Pike's spiral fish-way. Scale, 

 inch to the foot (^4). C. G. Atkins. 



This model represents a fish- way precisely the same capacity and 

 slope, and adapted to a dam of the same height as No. 10, 

 showing the great economy of space and material effected hy 

 the spiral arrangement. Further advantages of the spiral 

 arrangement are the facility with which water can he admitted 

 at different heights of the river, and contiguity of the outlet 

 to the dani secured, so that the fish will readily find it. 



26931. Model of Pike's spiral fish- way, devised hy Hon. R. G. Pike, of Con- 

 necticut. Sale, i inch to the foot (^ 4 ). C. G. Atkins. 



The advantages of this, the first spiral arrangement invented in 

 America, are the same as those claimed for that arrangement 

 in Pike's spiral fish-way. 



Moving float fish- ways. 



26930. Model of Everleth's fish-way, devised by F. M. Everleth, M. D., of 

 Waldorboro', Me. Scale, i inch to the foot (.,). C. G. Atkins. 

 The peculiarity of this fish-way is the movable attachment at the 

 upper end, which, by its own buoyancy, rises and falls with 

 the fluctuations of the river, thus insuring that the entrance 

 shall always be at the right height to admit the requisite 

 quantity of water.
